Double Chocolate Tofu Pie

Chocolate Tofu Pie
Adapted from this recipe and this recipe
*This recipe can easily be dairy-free and vegan, simply make sure to use margerine instead of butter in the base, dairy-free cookies (a lot of cookies use vegetable fat instead of butter, or make your own) and proper dark chocolate with no dairy in it.

400 grams chocolate biscuits
150 grams butter (or combination of butter and margerine, or only margerine)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
220 grams chocolate
1/2 cup cocoa powder (only if you're not using dark chocolate)
1/4 cup kahlua (or other liquer, or leave it out completely)
350 grams silken tofu

First, crush up the biscuits really well. If you have a food processor, great. Simply throw them in there and process them until they are crumbs. Then add the butter and continue to process it until the mixture is homogenous. If you have no food processor, you will have to combine it with your hands. It will work, but won't be so finely textured.

Press the crumb mixture into a pie dish and place it in the fridge.

Next, melt your chocolate over a double boiler.

If you are not using good dark chocolate and want a richer taste add the cocoa powder and stir it into the melted chocolate. Then remove the chocolate from the double boiler and add the kahlua (if you are using it) and the tofu. If you have a blender (or a food processor will do the trick) pour the whole lot into that.


The next step is to blend the mixture together really well, until it is completely smooth, in a blender or using an immersion/hand blender. Then pour the filling into the base.

  1. It looks wonderful and sounds weird. But it's a "lovely weird" - if you know what I mean. Something I'd definitely want to try
